HAPPY THAI NEW YEAR TO ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS & FRIENDS!

In Thailand it is the hottest time of the year so we celebrate by throwing buckets of water on one another to cool off for the Thai New Year. In the USA it is spring (finally)! Asparagus is at its best at this time of year, so enjoy this simple, low-calorie, and quick-to-prepare recipe from our cookbook 'Cooking Thai Prawns' (you can buy the cookbook right from this newsletter, above).
